Orderly tyrant

Inside the hospital room.

On the pristine white hospital bed, the female patrol officer groggily awoke. After some difficulty opening her eyes, she stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, her eyes snapping wide open as she abruptly sat up.

Beside the bed, her assistant was already awake, sitting and looking at her phone. Seeing her awake, she couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "Team Leader Xu, you're awake!"

"I'm still alive..."

Xu Qiu muttered, then seemed to awaken fully as she looked at her assistant, wanting to ask about Lin Qing's condition, but she opened her mouth and ultimately said nothing.

Was there even a need to ask?

The captain wasn't in Lin'an, and Lin Qing had been attacked by that madman Chu Tianyao. Wasn't the result certain death?

"Team Leader Xu," the female assistant said excitedly, "I just received an outrageous piece of news. If you knew, you would definitely..."

"I'm not in the mood right now."

Xu Qiu interrupted her, paused in silence, and slightly shook her head. "Take me to see Lin Qing first. I want to say a few words to him."

"Say a few words? Now?" the assistant asked, somewhat puzzled.

She had been utterly shocked when she received the news. How did Team Leader Xu guess it as soon as she woke up?

Xu Qiu looked at the white sheets, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "If I had properly advised him, acted with him, or had him wait until headquarters arrived, this probably wouldn't have happened. I also bear some responsibility this time..."

"Ah?"

The assistant couldn't help but be taken aback, suddenly realizing that Team Leader Xu seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Auntie came to Lin'an this time and even said she wanted to meet him, but now..." Xu Qiu slightly shook her head, her voice low. "Is his body still there? Take me to see it."

"No, Team Leader Xu, Lin Qing, he..."

Just as the assistant was about to explain, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Qing walked in from outside.

Xu Qiu couldn't help but be stunned. "You... you're not dead?"

"Why does Team Leader Xu want me dead as soon as we meet?" Lin Qing glanced at her. "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine..." Xu Qiu said, somewhat disbelieving, and couldn't help but ask, "What about Chu Tianyao? You're actually alright?"

"Of course he's dead," Lin Qing said. "Chu Tianyao's body is at the city bureau."

"Chu Tianyao is dead?" Xu Qiu was stunned. "How did he die?"

"He was shot to death by bullets."

Lin Qing explained casually, not wanting to say more, simply shaking his head. "You can learn the specifics later, Team Leader Xu. Prepare yourself now. The city bureau has issued an order for all on-duty patrol officers to go to Lin'an International Airport."

"Shot to death by bullets?" Xu Qiu found it hard to believe. How could a powerful person like Chu Tianyao be shot to death by bullets?

She suppressed her inner doubts and said, "Okay, wait for me a moment. I'll tidy up and be ready soon."

"I'll wait for you on the first floor."

Lin Qing gave a nod, said nothing more, and left the ward.

"Xiao Qi, how exactly did Chu Tianyao die?" Xu Qiu couldn't help but look at her assistant.

"I wanted to tell you about this just now, but you wouldn't let me talk..." the female assistant grumbled, then said, "Chu Tianyao was killed by Captain Lin."

"He killed him?" Xu Qiu was stunned. "How is that possible? Explain it clearly."

"I'm not very sure either. This news is..."

...

After Xu Qiu finished tidying her hair and uniform, she saw Lin Qing again on the first floor of the hospital and couldn't help but size him up several times.

Lin Qing could guess what she was thinking, so he didn't care and simply asked, "Team Leader Xu, your patrol car was destroyed. Want to ride in the same one as me?"

"...Okay," Xu Qiu nodded lightly.

After getting in the car, Xu Qiu finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you really kill Chu Tianyao?"

"He underestimated me. I took advantage of the situation to trick him," Lin Qing slightly shook his head. "I'm not his opponent in a head-on fight."

"I heard from Xiao Qi..." Xu Qiu looked at him strangely. "I heard you used the 'Firm' and 'Supple' battle techniques in their full defensive state to capture him, allowing a drone to shoot him to death."

"That's right," Lin Qing nodded.

"But that's not right either," Xu Qiu stared at him. "The battle technique I cultivate is also from the Unrestrained Body series. I know very well that this kind of full defensive state also has its limits. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to block Chu Tianyao unless..."

"Unless what?" Lin Qing looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"You must have mastered the original Sunrise Training Method, right?" Xu Qiu asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I was lucky. I just broke through a few days ago," Lin Qing nodded slightly. "Captain Xu's guess is quite accurate."

"That's the only possibility," Xu Qiu took a deep breath. "There are no shortcuts in battle technique cultivation. You can only improve bit by bit. Even if you are a genius, it would take at least three months, so it can only be the original Sunrise Training Method."

She looked at Lin Qing in disbelief. "Your Modified Version Seven training method was only successful two months ago, right? You mastered the original version so quickly?"

"High-energy slow-release EPS series liquid is supplied every day, as well as Super-Sense Serum. It would be strange if I couldn't master it," Lin Qing shook his head.

"Super-Sense Serum?" Xu Qiu was taken aback. "Where did you get Super-Sense Serum?"

"I found it unintentionally in an underground fighting ring," Lin Qing said casually. "I didn't hand it in at the time and injected it after verifying it at home."

This kind of thing is very common among patrol officers.

Once a treasure like Super-Sense Serum is discovered, who would hand it in?

Anyway, he already used it, and it wasn't public resources. On the contrary, he broke through because of it. The patrol wouldn't care about this little thing and would only praise his good luck and his carefulness.

"Super-Sense Serum... I see..."

Xu Qiu muttered, then said again, "Even so, Super-Sense Serum can only help you get started. You were able to master the original Sunrise Training Method in a short period of time, which is already very fast."

"Indeed, I was quite lucky," Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Super-Sense is just the beginning. Afterwards, you have to sense a suitable second-level energy, which depends very much on luck.

It's like catching fish in the dark. Some people are lucky and may catch them on the same day, while others are unlucky and may not succeed for several years.

"Now you really have to join the headquarters elite patrol with me," Xu Qiu couldn't help but glance at Lin Qing.

From the way Lin Qing locked down Chu Tianyao, she could also guess that he must have also mastered the four battle techniques of 'Firm,' 'Supple,' 'Minute,' and 'Force,' otherwise it would be impossible to forcibly lock down Chu Tianyao and harmlessly resolve Chu Tianyao's attacks.

As for 'Speed' and 'Agility,' Lin Qing had already mastered them, and she had heard of them.

In other words, Lin Qing's strength was already completely no less than hers.

"When will we go to headquarters?" Lin Qing asked.

"It's always mid-year," Xu Qiu explained. "Official reports are due at headquarters on July 1st, because personnel and resource adjustments are made every year at this time."

"That's still three or four months away," Lin Qing nodded slightly.

"You can go now, anyway, it's not in the metropolitan area, you don't need a visa," Xu Qiu said.

"I'll wait and see," Lin Qing sized up Xu Qiu, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "However, I'd like to know more about how Team Leader Xu fainted before?"

Xu Qiu frowned slowly. "When I discovered Chu Tianyao's appearance, I originally wanted to support you, but a mysterious person suddenly appeared and attacked me."

"You are at the level of a patrol captain," Lin Qing asked doubtfully. "Even if it was a sneak attack, that person must be very strong, right?"

He had seen the on-site report, and there were no traces of fighting, indicating that Xu Qiu was easily defeated.

"That person was wearing a mask and I don't know who it was, but his strength was indeed terrifying," Xu Qiu frowned. "I feel that he should be no less than a high-level patrol captain. He knocked me down with just one casual move."

"One move?" Lin Qing said in surprise. "What is the strength of a high-level patrol captain?"

"Under normal circumstances, a gene awakener who has grown up, or a top expert before gene awakening, may have their rank promoted to high-level patrol captain," Xu Qiu explained.

"So strong?" Lin Qing frowned slightly. "What specific level is a high-level patrol captain?"

He suspected that this person might be the number one person in the Iris Society, but he felt that this strength was too strong.

"If it is a gene awakener, you have to wait until the gene adaptation is adjusted to the most perfect state, and all battle techniques of a series have to be cultivated to the instinctive level," Xu Qiu explained.

Lin Qing didn't quite understand what level of strength this was, and couldn't help but ask, "What about people who haven't awakened their genes?"

"There are many such cases," Xu Qiu thought for a moment and said, "People who have not awakened their genes, if they want to be comparable to a gene awakener who has grown up, in addition to mastering an original battle technique, they must also manipulate some suitable genetic ability in advance."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

Looking at it this way, a high-level patrol captain is indeed much stronger than a general patrol captain.

"The person who attacked me was probably to cooperate with Chu Tianyao to kill you," Xu Qiu said. "But he had no intention of killing me at all, and didn't look for you, did he?"

"No, I've never seen him at all," Lin Qing shook his head.

Although he had six battle techniques cultivated to the instinctive level, the other party not only mastered the original battle technique, but also manipulated some suitable genetic ability in advance!

This was much stronger than he was now.

With such amazing strength, if he wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

"If it is the number one person in the Iris Society, he should cooperate with Chu Tianyao to kill me, right?" Lin Qing frowned.

"It's indeed very strange," Xu Qiu also frowned. "If he wanted to kill me, one move would be enough, but he didn't hurt me at all, he just stopped me from saving you."

"That's still a bit incomprehensible," Lin Qing shook his head. "He stopped you from saving me, wanting Chu Tianyao to kill me. If he wanted me to die, why didn't he attack me after Chu Tianyao died?"

Xu Qiu shook her head slightly, not knowing how to explain it.

"Perhaps this person never thought about attacking me at all," Lin Qing couldn't help but say.

In fact, he was sure in his heart.

If he had any hostility towards him, the Order Level would definitely decrease. With this kind of strength comparable to a high-level patrol captain, who knows how much the Order Level would decrease?

"It shouldn't be the number one person in the Iris Society," Xu Qiu shook her head. "In the end, it's just the Iris Society. Even if the number one person is a patrol captain-level combat power, that's already very outrageous, let alone a high-level patrol captain, unless the number one person in the Iris Society is really not responsible for the Iris Society at all, then this is possible."

Lin Qing also nodded lightly.

High-level patrol captains are all elites of the headquarters. Once they are delegated, they are the highest commanders of patrols in several provinces.

Such characters may not be anything in the metropolitan area, but they are considered someone in the global patrol world.

"It seems that the water in Lin'an City is very deep..." Lin Qing couldn't help but fall into thought.

...

Not long after.

After the patrol car arrived at Lin'an International Airport, it followed the special personnel's exclusive channel and came to the vicinity of the government's exclusive airport.

This airport only allows military and public aircraft to land.

Seventeen patrol officers in Lin'an City, and today, fifteen of them have gathered, which is rare.

Except for Chen Yanan, who has not yet returned to work, and one patrol officer who is out on business, the other fifteen are already waiting at the exclusive airport.

There is also Zhang Guodong, the director of the City Patrol Bureau, who also brought two subordinates to greet them.

Although the director only has administrative level and no patrol rank, he is also the highest leader of the City Patrol Bureau.

The people who are coming are the legendary Patrol Envoy and three high-level patrol captains. If it wasn't for work reasons, Yuan Anping, the captain, should have brought all the patrol officers to greet them to be in line with etiquette.

Lin Qing and Xu Qiu were already the last to arrive, and there were still five minutes before the special plane from the headquarters was about to arrive.

When the thirteen patrol officers saw Lin Qing, they all took the initiative to come over to say hello. Their attitude was already friendly before, but now it is even more enthusiastic.

"Haha, Team Leader Lin, long time no see, have you made another contribution?"

"I heard that Chu Tianyao has been killed by Team Leader Lin?"

"I used to think that Team Leader Lin was a genius, and I was right. Team Leader Lin is only eighteen years old and has already captured an S-class wanted criminal?"

"First-class merit, Team Leader Lin's current strength plus first-class merit, you will soon be a patrol captain, right?"

"An eighteen-year-old patrol captain, Lin'an can be considered to have its own genius patrol officer."

"If the Patrol Envoy knows about this, I'm afraid he will also praise Team Leader Lin later."

The patrol officers, who can be called figures in Lin'an City, are now almost surrounding Lin Qing, and they are very enthusiastic.

Lin Qing also understands what these people are thinking.

An eighteen-year-old patrol captain is indeed rare. People with this kind of talent and potential can generally become students of the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall at the very least. Why would they take the path of patrol?

It is indeed rare for such excellent talents to be willing to join the patrol.

This kind of endless bright future, achievements and strength are also admirable, so how could these patrol officers not be enthusiastic?

Director Zhang Guodong stood calmly aside, nodded slightly to Lin Qing, even if he had greeted him, maintaining the restraint and restraint of a leader.

The patrol officers can only be said to be polite to him, but they are as enthusiastic as fire to Lin Qing.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, but he doesn't care too much about this kind of thing.

Mainly as a leader, he doesn't really like subordinates who are promoted too quickly and have too high prestige. He also doesn't like the hasty attitude of the patrols who only put strength and achievements first. This is too unserious.

"Go back and stand properly."

Zhang Guodong suddenly said solemnly, "The Patrol Envoy has arrived, what will it look like if the Patrol Envoy sees you later?"

When a group of patrol officers heard the words, they looked over and sure enough, they saw a white small military plane in the sky, flying towards here.

...

After the plane came to a stop, the boarding stairs were already in place.

With a hiss, the cabin door slowly opened.

A woman, about twenty-five or six years old, wearing a white tracksuit and with a high ponytail, appeared at the cabin door and walked down the boarding stairs.

Behind her followed three men.

Lin Qing couldn't help but take a closer look.

Were these the legendary Inspector and three Senior Inspector Generals?

The high-ponytail woman strolled leisurely with her entourage to stand before the group of Inspectors.

The City Bureau Chief, Zhang Guodong, immediately stepped forward and led the others in a salute, saying, "Welcome, Inspector and three Senior Inspector Generals, to Lin'an City to guide our work. Please give us your instructions."

"Mm."

The high-ponytail woman glanced at Zhang Guodong with little interest, scanned the crowd, and said casually, "I am Tang Wanqiu, the Inspector specially dispatched by the Inspector Headquarters."

At that moment, her gaze suddenly paused, stopping on Lin Qing, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, and she said, "You are Lin Qing?"

Just adjusted my schedule, there will be another chapter later.
